I think the standard thing to do nowadays is textured-text. What you do is have a .bmp image with all the letters of the alphabet on it. Then you split that texture up into the individual letters, make a function to print those letters, and you've got it http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

If you choose textured fonts as suggested by iNsaNEiVaN, you may be interested in glFont, a very handy library that comes along with a font texture generator.
